I'm currently 16 yrs. of age... 5'8" talland at a sickeningly... 145 lbs... and my mom says I look like a scarecrow (well, MOM, that wouldn't be the case if you would allow me to have some Whey Protein or creatine, OR SOMETHING...)(btw, ignore my userpic, that is my current status, but if you were to see another photograph, it would be horrible..)I've been doing a lot of stuff like dumbbells (20 lbs.) and eating a lot but nothing helps... I don't have much exercise equipment to work with nor am I not allowed to get the Total Gym from the attic because my parents said we don't have anymore space in the house.. (well we would have space if we would stop buying freaking useless crap..)I would KILL to get some type of thing to work out with.. whether it be a barbell, huge plates, anything.. I'm not giving up...So, what should I do everyone?

Determined to gain muscle but alas....

Hey,I'm 17, 6' and 165 lbs so I can help you out a little bit but I'm still trying to bulk up as well. Onto the questions. 1.) Do you have a local gym you could join? I joined one and got a personal trainer to get my jump started, I do alot on my own now but there's tons of people there that after you've joined you could walk up to and ask them pretty much anything. 2.) Do you have a license? If you do, grab some cash and head to a GNC. I can give you the names of some great whey protien / creatine. Also, try Clif bars. They're the shit. You can get them at pretty much every supermarket, just ask a store clerk the next time you're there. If you have the option, get the Chocolate Chip OR if they have the 20g Clif Builder's Bar get the Chocolate kind. They taste like you're eating a candy bar, they don't taste like chewy cardboard crap. Hope this helps,

dont go with creatine it will make you bulk out but give you shitty undefined muscles and stretch marks. a german kid in my class is 5' 8" and looks like he should be 220-240 but only weighs 190. at 6' 150 i can bench more then him (180 pounds) and totally own him at rugby. he has the bulk but isnt strong at all. stick with protein. besides creatine will make you really fat when you stop working out (what my old football coach said at least)

You can take them with you anywhere, and mix up quick and easy with water and a shaker cup.The bars are tasty. There's a low carb high protien one, and the Big 1000 meal replacement. Just went out to GNC and tried a MET-Rx Chocolate Chocolate Chunk. Not too bad, a little chewy but the taste is pretty good! 32g of protein, too! I still love those Clif Builder bars, I don't know, there's something about them. However, I will start to carry more MET-Rx Chocolate Chocolate Chunk in my pantry now. Can I get the MET-Rx protein shake packets at GNC? Is the chocolate flavor any good? Thanks,

Helms strikes again!
